Get ultra-fast data access by adding a PCIe M.2 SSD to your existing computer. This adapter lets you add a high-speed, 4-lane M.2 SSD (PCIe-based), such as a Samsung 950 Pro or Samsung SM 951, to a PC with an available x4 PCI Express expansion slot. You can mount the PCIe M.2 drive directly onto the adapter, giving you an easy and convenient way to improve your system performance and expand overall internal storage.

Boost your system speed and performance

The expansion card lets you take full advantage of the fast performance and compact size of PCIe M.2 internal solid-state drives. The adapter connects directly to your computer motherboard to support an M.2 PCIe-based SSD (NVMe or AHCI) through ultra-fast x4 PCIe. The adapter is compatible with PCIe 3.0 motherboards and is also backward compatible with PCIe 2.0 and PCIe 1.0. With the M.2 PCIe based drive in place, the adapter gives your computer a significant speed boost.

Although M.2 SSDs come in similar form factors, only an M.2 PCIe drive with an M.2 NGFF M key will operate with this device. M.2 drives that are SATA or drives that have a different key position are not compatible with this device.

This device can adapt an M.2 PCIe drive to connect to PCIe connections, which is not possible for a SATA based M.2 drive. The key type refers to the connector type on the M.2 PCIe drive, and the M key can only be M.2 PCIe. It is important to check the specifications of the drive to see if it supports PCIe M key.
